Podcast / 23 March, 2022 / Ellie Thompson
Leo Bamford and Ellie Thompson team up with ‘Two New Mums‘ Amy Voce and Jennie Longdon to chat pregnancy, birth and baby kit in this latest episode of Parental Control.
Virgin Radio DJ Amy Voce and Absolute Radio DJ Jennie Longdon have been co-hosting comedy podcast Two Non Blondes since 2017, before falling pregnant two days apart, around 9 months ago. This incredible coincidence saw the launch of their new spin-off podcast ‘Two New Mums‘ as they tackle everything relating to fertility, pregnancy and kids, navigating the path of parenthood with the help of guest experts.
We welcome Amy and Jennie to Parental Control for this all-girl ep to discuss birth plans, hospital bags, and which baby kit they’re buying ahead of their imminent new arrivals. Favourites include the Cybex PRIAM pushchair and the Snuzpod, as well as wondering if they can make do with dog beds and figuring out exactly what a steriliser is.

Amy is a multi-award-winning radio presenter, who has worked in radio for over 15 years. Currently presenting on Virgin Radio alongside Graham Norton and Chris Evans, she was also recently awarded an honorary award for outstanding services to broadcasting from Nottingham Trent University.
In 2017 Amy and fellow radio presenter and great pal Jennie Longdon launched their comedy podcast ‘Two Non Blondes’, which, on discovering both were pregnant and due just two days apart, has evolved into the new podcast ‘Two New Mums’ which also became the official podcast of The Baby Show, the UK’s largest baby and parenting event.
When not broadcasting, you’ll probably find Amy in pigeon pose, as a devoted yogi, having trained to teach, or walking her best friend, Peggy Sue the cavapoo in a forest. Travel is also a massive passion, especially if it involves a road trip and log cabin!
Jennie is a national radio presenter working across the Absolute Radio network and the Hits Radio network. From classic rock shows to country shows, Jennie can be heard across the UK 7 days a week.
When not broadcasting, Jennie is usually at a gig or getting tattooed. Her growing collection of ink includes an Elvis portrait, My Little Ponies and a flirty Marge Simpson. She is already a mum to two scruffy little chuggles, Dio and Chewie. Every full moon you’ll find her bathing her crystals in the twilight and reading angel cards.
The PRIAM is a brilliant choice for any expectant mama. The 4-in-1 travel system combines the frame with different attachments – so you can meet any challenge when travelling with your child. Team with a Lux carrycot for the perfect lie-flat chariot for your newborn, and enjoy an easy one-hand-fold, XXL sun canopy and all-wheel suspension.
What’s more, you can customize your PRIAM according to your individual taste. Combine your frame of choice with a wide choice of seat packs and change the look of your stroller whenever you want.
